I will start - BOG tuna salad. It's amazing! Must on every trip
Wolfganck Puck Express - Turkey Cobb
Crystal Palace breakfast - great selection of fresh fruit and omelette/eggs. So much I am actually considering dinner
Salmon meal at Columbia harbour was good, but not as good as the other mentioned ADR's

Sunshine Seasons in The Land at Epcot has lots of healthy choices - salads and sandwiches and such. My personal favorites are the salmon or half roasted chicken. They usually come with a starch (potato or rice) but you can forego those for vegetables.

Chicken and Strawberry Salad at The Plaza Restaurant in MK it was huge and tasty and i got to use a fat free dressing on it which went really well, (I think they offered frozen yogurt instead of ice cream back then but you will need to double check that).
Liberty Inn in Epcot also had a tasty Chicken salad which you could boost a bit with other items,
Columbia Harbour House do a tasty healthy tuna sandwich with wholemeal bread which was good
Cosmic Ray's do some healthier options too and they also had a 'fixings bar' with extra sauces and vegetables
A few places offer quinoa salads now too with good grains and fresh vegetables, there are plenty of fish options too you don't have to have fries or mashed potatoes. If you are having ADRs you can always ask to discuss your healthier dietary requirements with the waiter/ waitress or the chef they are happy to accommodate your needs.

I'm guessing Mickey Bars and that 32oz Porterhouse at Yachtsman don't make this list.

My favorites are the salmon at Sunshine Seasons which was always well seasoned w/a side of green beans or once I chose asparagus which was seasonal (I'm curious if CHH's compares at all)
I also love the smoked turkey sandwich w/a side of melon from Flametree BBQ
The veggie platter from Tangierine Cafe was a very good value
The lobster roll from Boardwalk Bakery w/a soup or salad on the side (not sure how healthy the lobster is since it most likely has butter on it from what I remember)
Mongolian fish from Landscape of Flavors was better than I expected w/sides of naan, veggies & potatoes I believe

Steak can offer good protein portion but Mickey Bars perhaps not.

I thought the quinoa salad at BOG lunch was pretty good.

I would eat it if they had more vegetables as sides instead of mashed potatoes of fries they get old quick and I'm off risottos at the moment after an odd one at Cali Grill last summer (it was just way too cheesy for me) it didn't pair well with my dish for my tastes... Plenty of other folks loved it.
We also prefer our gravy to be just stock and juices from the meat pan with a little reduction mixed smoothly no added salts or peppers and no flour or lard in it!! True gravy should taste like the meat that was cooked in the pan the gravy was made in, it should not be cloudy lumpy or look like paste.

Magic Kingdom:
-Columbia Harbour House: salmon dish, I sub the cous cous for extra brocoli, and it's delicious, esp for a QS salmon, I loved it!
-Salads there were good, but not fantastic, but that was a few years back, they've probably updated them since!
-Pecos: get a burrito, take away the shell, hit up the toppings bar for all the veggies & guac, and you've got an amazing and delicious bowl of awesome!
-Diamond Horseshoe (when/if it's open as a QS) has awesome salads with tons of meat!
-Cosmic Rays: has a "pasta" salad thats actually a delicious spinach salad with a few pieces of tortellini on it, super yummy! Also has choices like roast chicken with green beans!
-BOG: dinner has a salmon dish that was okay, the veggies were GREAT, but the salmon was teensy overdone.
-Any table service meal you'll be able to sub out starches for extra veggies, or ask for no butter/oil on them, or sub in say, a garden salad instead.
Epcot
-Sunshine Seasons: ALL THE THINGS, seriously, all the fruit, veggies, lean protein, this is your heaven for healthy delicious meals at Epcot, or even just Disney all together! So many choices, and they're all amazing. I used to come here before/after work or to grab a meal on my break!
-France has some decent salads too! BUT they are a little too pricey for my taste now.
-Morocco: the vegetarian platter here is my favorite, it's not SUPER filled with veggies, but it's filling, and good for you and delicious!
-Norway: has an AWESOME open faced smoked salmon sandwich! I'm sure you could add on a side of salad or fruit/veggies that come with the kids meals
DAK
-The little refreshment stand outside of the safari has pre packed fruit & veggies you won't find elsewhere, and fruit & cheese plates for a reasonable price, I love the fresh watermelon here!
-Harambe market has some skewers that are good protein sources
-The new place over by EE has a DELICIOUS shrimp mango slaw/salad thing. Super tasty, 2 really big shrimps and shredded veggies/fruit.
-Flame Tree has amazing portions of proteins with either fruit, green beans, or some kind of veggies on the side
DHS
-ABC USED to have an amazing salmon quinoa salad, and it's honestly the only place I can think of having something decent in DHS qs to eat....I'll usually go there, they've got at least one healthy dish on the menu. Everywhere else seems to be pizza/burgers. I did get a kids meal from the boat dock thing last trip and it was decent, turkey sandwich on wheat bread with a side of apples/carrots and water
-Art of Animation's food court: has AMAZING choices, it's not worth the trip by itself, but if you're staying there, or staying at Pop, we would go over before the parks, or take the bus back there and walk back to Pop with delicious food. The choices are way healthier (even multigrain pasta) and they've different than other places, which is a huge added bonus
-Coronado Springs QS has "build your own salads" that I believe are $10 and you can add as much protein as you'd like, I'm talking, eggs, chicken, steak, you can have it all and it doesn't cost any extra!
-Over at the Swan/Dolphin there's a QS that's open 24 HOURS A DAY, and it's similar to chipotle, build your own burritos, again, sans shell, add extra veg and you're golden
Again, ANY TS meal can be subbed to be with just veggies, IE; at Le Cellier, I'll get the filet mignon, but sub in green beans with no butter instead of the risotto, big protein, some veggies, get a salad to start, and we're good. If you're going to be making major changes to things, or eating a certain "style" (ie, no gluten, no dairy, etc) try to note it on the resso though!
Buffets are a really good option if you have the willpower to stay away from the stuff you don't want lol! I'll usually go up and LOAD a plate with veggies/salad/fruit, and try to power through that before I eat anything else, but I'll still eat potatos and stuff lol.
1900 PF, Crystal Palace, Trails End, Ohana, WCC, are all places with lots of good choices, WCC & Ohana esp for the proteins!

Do they still offer this at Landscape of Flavors? I didn't see it on the menu. Sounds like something DH and/or I would enjoy!

I don't see it on there either. They could've taken it off. There is a Salmon Club sandwich that's new since the last time I looked that sounds good, though for dinner. It seems like they completely got rid of the grilled entrees for lunch & left only the Tandoori Chicken Thigh (no thanks) on for dinner.

Oh that's too bad. I saw the salmon sandwich, but I was hoping for a non sandwich meal. I'm open to the Tandoori Chicken, though! Chicken thighs are the preferred piece for many of us in Hawaii!

I would never go back to CP $32 for an omelet and some fruit is ridiculous! I didn't really found anything else to eat.
I found really good Greek salad at cosmic rays. Cobb salad at the BD you can add protein to it for extra $. Nearly every resort food court has fruit cups.

What exactly is fish collar? Is it baked or sauteed fish? Even after a google search, I didn't come up with a clear definition..& I've been meaning to try Skipper Canteen, so that might be good to know.

It was a large piece of white fish it looked like it was baked...no breading just some seasoning...it wasn't greasy....think the fish type might vary day to day. THis one was very meaty with a large bone running along its side. Think it was a green papaya slaw underneath with a soy sauce on the side.
